On Sunday afternoon, after we finished our morning shift in the lighthouse, we took a drive north about 20 miles to the little town of Bandon. We decided to have dinner out, so left around 3:00 pm. We really goofed by not going earlier as it was the Cranberry Festival Weekend. We got their just about the time all the booths were packing up and leaving. We walked around a little and check out the booths that were still open. Then we went into quite a few stores, bought some souvenirs and even some home made fudge!
This was our view of the beach as we walked along the sea shore.
I fell in love with the stone mosaic. All of the trim is stones of different sizes, colors and shapes. How cool it that. This is just a little band stand right out in the area of the docks.
A wood sculpture of a crab and sea shell. Everything is really fixed up nice.
This is the floating dock that you can catch crabs from. The bait shop will rent you a crab pot, sell you bait, sell you a license, give you a measurer and let you catch crab off the dock. The limit is 12 crabs each. He said the best time is when the tide comes in. Very interesting.
We drove out to face rock and couldn’t get a picture because it was getting dark. We ate dinner at a restaurant just south of Bandon. When we bought the fudge the woman told us to go to this place and ask for Karen. She was a hoot. We had a good meal and even met some of the people we gave a tour to that morning.
